Green Homes

Many of us are worried about the state of the environment that we live in and are frightened by the consequences of climate change. We want a better world for our children and for future generations. For those people who wish to do their part towards a more sustainable live style and to lower their own personal Carbon Footprint, this often begins at home.

Gestor Energetico Econova is proud to be your partner in making your home a greener place. The size of the transformation or project you have in mind is up to you and we are here to help you in any way we can.

Small Changes
If you are looking to make small changes to your home, please do not worry about how small a difference they will make, they all add up and there are millions of people like you who are changing their life- style, home and work place habits. The Gestor Energetico or Energy Debate web site should give you lots of free tips on how to be greener. In many cases you don’t need to spend any money at all, all you need to do is recycle and think before you leave all your lights and standby switches on at night. For those who are willing to make a small investment, you can buy Standby Eliminators, Energy Monitors and general green gadgets in many cases for less than 50 Euros.

Medium to long Term Planning
For those home owners who are looking at larger projects Gestor Energetico Econova is here to help. Before we start any work we will always work with you on calculating the Return on Investment of your project- because the good news is making your house greener often pays for itself many times over in the long run.

For medium to long term planning we divide the options into two main areas
1. New projects, Project Planning
2. Remodeling existing properties

1. As many people know who have built their own home when you begin your building you have the unique opportunity of having a fresh start. By incorporating green design in your plans you may incorporate many aspects which will make your future home greener such as using mother nature as a factor to take advantage of natural light, direct sunlight, wind orientation, window orientation, geo-Thermal installations and insulation planning.

2. To get going with a credible plan we start with a Gestor Energetico Home Energy Audit. Here will look at your existing energy use and work on ways of reducing your energy bills and your energy consumption. We will also make recommendations for any other measure that will make your house more efficient such as installing solar, insulation, flooring, green roofs, smart roofs, ventilation and plumbing solutions such as toilets and faucets.
